Dallas Street Race Turns Deadly

Posted on Nov 30, 2011

A Highland Park teenager died when he lost control of the vehicle that he was street racing on Tuesday night.

Colin Taylor Stone was driving his BMW westbound on Northwest Highway when police believe he started racing another BMW at the intersection of Abrams Road. Nearly a mile later, at the intersection of Northwest Highway and Shady Brook, Colin lost control, striking four other vehicles.

Upon impact, Colin’s BMW erupted into flames. He was killed instantly. Others involved in the crash were taken to the hospital, but are expected to be okay.

Police say Colin reached speeds well over 100 miles an hour. The driver of the other vehicle Colin was racing has not been found, but police believe he may be a member of the swimming club at the Knights of Columbus pool off Northwest Highway that Colin also went to.

Neighbors in the area say street racing along Northwest Highway is a problem that needs to be stopped.
